Everyone loves their Spotify Wrapped, but if you're more of a fan of YouTube Music, you can still get your data summary and fun little graphics.

Some people already have access to their YouTube Music 2024 Recap, but it only appears to be available for some. According to a Diamond Product Expert who responded to a query about seasonal recaps on YouTube Music Help, "The 2024 Seasonal Recap experience will live exclusively in the YouTube Music and YouTube Main apps on mobile devices. It is unavailable on web. Users will be able to search for their 2024 Recap playlist on the web."

"Audio in the background of Recap stories is only available for Premium members in the YouTube Music app," they added. "If you are a free user or watching your Recap on Main, you won’t be able to hear audio with your Recap."

If the recap is available for you, you should see a banner advertising it below the "speed dial" section on the YouTube Music app on Android or iOS. If you don't see the banner, navigate to your profile, open the "Your Recap" option, and then tap "get your recap."

This years' YouTube Music 2024 Recap will include music video stats, mood insights, and Google Photos integration, Headphonesty reports. The theme is "your music character."

Not everyone is happy with their recap. In a post on Reddit, users complained that their recaps weren't accurate and were disappointed that they came out toward the end of November instead of the end of the calendar year.
